Football world stunned by Ranieri sacking
Past players have flooded social media to express their disbelief at Leicester City's decision to sack Claudio Ranieri, less than 12 months after he guided the club to a famous Premier League title.
A number of British football's leading ex-players and analysts have expressed their disbelief at Leicester City's decision to sack manager Claudio Ranieri, less than 12 months after the Italian guided the club to one of the most unlikely championship titles in the sport's history.
The Foxes are one point outside the relegation zone with 12 matches remaining, but the club moved to oust Ranieri in the wake of the 2-1 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg loss to Sevilla.
The move has stunned observers and greats of the game, who have taken to social media to express their bemusement at the treatment of a man whose only brief was to help the club avoid relegation, when he took the job in July 2015.
